Kamala Harris Bombs in Fox Interview

Posted on | October 17, 2024 | No Comments

The three deadliest bombs in world history:

  1. Hiroshima;
  2. Nagasaki;
    and
  3. The Kamala Harris interview with Brett Baier.

By now, I’m sure everyone has seen the indescribable awfulness of Kamala’s Wednesday appearance on Fox News, which was as bad, in its own way, as Joe Biden’s performance in the June 27 debate with Trump.

If Democrats weren’t already hitting the panic button — and, in fact, they were — before Wednesday’s interview, they’re in full-on hysteria now.

To explain why Kamala was so bad, beyond her own personal attributes, it helps to reference something Mark Halperin said in an interview this week with Tucker Carlson, namely that a Trump victory in this election will cause “the greatest mental health crisis in the history of the country.”

Liberals simply can’t cope with it — it would be “traumatic,” Halperin said, because to them, Trump is the very worst person in the world. Liberals dwell inside a self-created bubble, insulated from criticism or negative feedback by the vast machinery of what the late Andrew Breitbart called the Democrat-Media Complex. Inside that bubble, there is no information that contradicts the liberal narrative, not only about Trump, but about everything else — economics, immigration, crime, etc. This consensus of opinion pervades our education system. As Thomas Sowell has quipped: “The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.” Therefore, the liberal believes that all educated people — all smart people, all the experts — share his opinions (which, so far as he is concerned, are facts). Therefore, a liberal seldom encounters contradiction or criticism from anyone he considers to possess intellectual prestige. “All the smart people agree with us,” liberals tell themselves, “and therefore only stupid people disagree.”

All of this I relate to explain that, from Kamala’s point of view, it’s insulting — offensive, rude — for Brett Baier to ask her to defend her record, or to give specific replies to specific questions. She is running against Trump, and all the smart people agree that Trump is the worst person in the world, so what other qualification does she need? If you don’t think she should win, you’re just a bad person.

That’s why she reacted the way she reacted. Brett Baier’s questions angered her, because she thinks it’s wrong to question her at all.

It’s important to realize that, no matter how bad Kamala did in that interview, she’ll still get at least 47% or 48% of the vote, and maybe an absolute majority of the popular vote, simply because that’s how pervasive liberalism has become in 21st-century America. Democrats could nominate a turnip and get 47% of the vote. And Harris will probably do a point or two better than a turnip.
